Are there others in your home or workplace making an organised life almost impossible? Peter Walsh shared a great way to convey frustration and ask for improvement.
When you…
I feel…
In the future…
For example,
When you leave your papers all over the place
I feel disrespected and frustrated
In the future, please put them here in this in tray.
I’ve learned about “I statements” before. They are a very good way of conveying a message without ranting. I particularly like this one, though, because of the “in the future”. It gives a clear direction of how you’d like things to be from now on, in a non-judemental way.
